Assessment day

Hergé

Well it's finally arrived, I'm getting my assignment today. I've been the NHS waiting list for almost 3 years without any end in sight.

I requested "the right to choose" from my GP about a month ago, I was given a list of providers and I chose Skylight as they had a practice not too far away.

I got an email from them within a week with links for various questionnaires. An appointment for a video interview came shortly after that and now I have my face to face assessment.

To say I'm quietly freaking out is an understatement!

I know there's no real pass or fail to the questions but it doesn't really help. 

If it turns out that I'm really not part of the community, I don't know where to turn next.
